List of Debtors Found Attached to Balete Tree w/ Ominous Curses Goes Viral Online
A list of debtors found attached to a balete tree with ominous curses goes viral and elicits reactions from netizens.
The Facebook page “Balita sa Katawhan” shared a photo of a balete tree adorned with a list of individuals who reportedly have unpaid debts. The post spread like wildfire on social media and garnered comments from the online community.
The mysterious and intriguing discovery has caught the attention of netizens due to the inclusion of ominous curses attached to the names on the list.
The photo shows a balete tree with a handwritten list of names, presumably those who owed money to someone. The accompanying statement asked those with outstanding debts to settle their commitments as soon as possible to avoid being included in the eerie practice.
The incident reportedly took place in Titay, Zamboanga Sibugay.
The curses include warnings such as “MAGKASAKIT KA” (you will get sick), “MAGDAOT KA” (you will suffer), “DILI MAKATULOG” (you won’t be able to sleep), “MAGBULAG” (you will go blind), “MAG-AWAY SIGE” (constant conflicts), “MAGKAPROBLEMA HANGTUD MANGAMATAY” (problems until death), and many more.
Netizens expressed a mix of amusement, curiosity, and disbelief. Some found it entertaining, while others saw it as a unique way of encouraging people to fulfill their financial obligations.
The act of tying names to a balete tree, accompanied by curses, reflects a cultural belief in supernatural consequences for unfulfilled debts. It serves as a local reminder of the importance of honoring financial commitments within the community.
While the list of debtors tied to a balete tree may be seen as a lighthearted spectacle by some, it sheds light on the diverse cultural practices and beliefs present in different communities.
